| dc.description.abstract | The dissertation deals with Alienation and religion in Marx and Paul Tillich and the transition
to a new Being. In general, it seeks to reflect in the authors' thoughts the relationship between
alienation and religion, starting from Modernity and its apex with the transition to a new
Being, according to the emerging paradigm of the sciences. In its specific form, at first, we
will describe Karl Marx's concept of alienation and his critique of the religious, political and
economic spheres. In his analysis, he concludes that the core of alienation is work according
to the production model of the capitalist system and proposes communism as an answer. In
the second moment, we will approach Paul Tillich. He states that the problem of alienation
has not been overcome, as it is the result of an ontological separation of transcendent and
immanent dimensions. In this way, alienation imposes an action that promotes reconciliation,
reunion, creativity, meaning, and hope, which he calls the New Being, the Christ, as an
answer to this question, in correlation with theology. In the third moment, we will point out
that the alienation continues and that there are several indications that the rational, scientific
knowledge model, of which Marx and Tillich are heirs, is in a deep and irreversible crisis.
Given this, we will present, according to the emerging paradigm of science, a new Being, as a
rupture and as the advent of a new era of human history, in which Modern Rationality has
been overcome. | eng |
